Hello, Trying to get postfix to accept requests, but only getting 'connection failed'. There is no firewall on this server and it also needs to relay mail only (the public will never have access to this mailer). No mail needs to be delivered locally. Errors;
telnet mailer 25 Connecting To mailer...Could not open connection to the host, on port 25: Connect failed
# cat /var/log/mail.err Oct 3 10:43:36 mailer postfix/master[5361]: fatal: config variable inet_interfaces: host not found: ::1 Oct 3 10:44:39 mailer postfix[5943]: fatal: config variable inet_interfaces: host not found: ::1 Oct 3 10:54:10 mailer postfix[9944]: fatal: config variable inet_interfaces: host not found: ::1 Any ideas? Thank you advance. James

Take a look at your /etc/postfix/main.cf file:
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain
The default for $myhostname is gethostname(2).
Also check your fully qualified host name and make sure you have than entry
in /etc/hosts.
In YaST/Network Devices/Network Card
Make sure that you set your static IP address, your host name and domain.
Essentially, I found that from 9.1 through 9.3 that postfix works out of the
box. (I usually make changes, such as relay host and a few others).

Change this in main.cf : inet_interfaces = all /Per Jessen, Zürich -- http://www.spamchek.co.uk/ - managed anti-spam and anti-virus solution. Sign up for your free 30-day trial now!
